This is awesome… Neil deGrasse Tyson is such a great front man for the world of science and listening to him as he explains why Stephen Hawking is the ultimate badass of the science world is crazy fun.
You're Not What You Think You Are
+AsapSCIENCE breaks down what you really are… and it's not what you think you are. FYI: this goes into your 'microbiome' aka the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that literally share our body space."'
So yeah… pre and probiotics FTW!

Yup them geeks at NASA made a genius parody of 'All About That Bass'.#

New particle accelerator could have 500 times the power of the LHC
Stanford researchers have come one step closer to a new type of particle accelerator that could do the same as the LHC at just a fraction of the size.
"Researchers sent pairs of electron bunches containing 5 billion to 6 billion electrons each into a laser-generated column of plasma inside an oven of hot lithium gas. The first bunch in each pair blasted all the free electrons away from the lithium atoms, leaving the positively charged lithium nuclei behind—a configuration known as the "blowout regime." The blasted electrons then fell back in behind the second bunch of electrons, forming a "plasma wake" that propelled the trailing bunch to higher energy."
